Now, the Japanese engineer has published materials relating to its new project — Android named Ibuki (Ibuki).

This humanoid robot with the face of a boy of ten, who has a pair of arms and a wheeled platform for asymmetric wheels, so the robot is in motion sways a bit, simulating how the human body moves when walking.
